Squats were very difficult. 100x5 felt more difficult than when I was doing them high bar and weighed 81 kg. I do have a minor right adductor injury but still, systemically they felt very difficult.

Bench was so-so, I just immediately fall off after I go past 6 reps or so, regardless of the weight used.

Hip thrusts and GHRs were pretty good.

Cold outside, so gym. Bench was very good, happy about it. Squats were difficult and after my 100x4 set I had a heart rate of 160 and felt a little shaky. I had to mentally focus not to lose it. Incredible how much systemic fatigue squats put on me. Chinups were not great, not terrible.

Deadlift was pretty good and it surprisingly fatigued me less than the squats, I guess because you can leave the barbell from your hand for just a bit whereas in the squat the bar is always on your back and eating away at your energy.

I moved to doing calisthenics in the park for a while, just to see what happens: handle pushups, chinups, pistol squats, hill sprints, stretching, box and depth jumps.

Went to the gym alone, so the bench press results are very good, considering I didn't have a spotter. Didn't do squats as my partially ruptured lateral meniscus on my right knee acted up and my right Achilles hurts.

The landmine deadlifts gave me crazy amount of glute soreness.

Well, for what is worth, I can only sleep with two meds at once: Trittico and Lyrica. Which is like, bad.
